Yes but investors and users seem to react well to it. Opencode for example gets mentioned more often than Cline even though it’s arguably inferior, openclaw is another example. Just name your stuff openX to win..

Idea: Qwen should change its name to OpenQwen - this would probably 10x their usage. :D

People keep saying that about Atlantis but why can’t the game be enough without a movie remake .. don’t you all want new stories? Isn’t that why Disney star wars sucks?

This reminds me why I studied CS. I planned to do something else but one day in school we got the assignment to write a computer program and I wrote an ascii scroller game instead and I realized how fun that is and changed my plans to become a programmer.

Now music pirates itself.

(Thinking of AI generated music which doesn't get more than a few % of total listening time, but give it some time..)

Good strategy, I tried that, too, but unfortunately on my laptop I need to press Fn+F1 to get F1 and that I did not hit randomly :D

Does it have image editing tools like rotate and crop and is it aware of basic exif metadata?

That's better than all agreeing on the wrong answer, however.

Idk about Altman, I missed that he’s a bad guy now apparently, but people also still listen to certain politicians that routinely lie every day and don’t even bother to make the lies fit the other ones they said before, so..

New comment by apples_oranges in "Habitual coffee intake shapes the microbiome, modifies physiology and cognition"

apples_oranges — Fri, 24 Apr 2026 08:07:38 +0000

Agree, I drink it a lot and then stop drinking it at least once a year for a few weeks, and for sure it's a different mode of mind, but can't really qualify it besides that I remember my thinking being softer, calmer and perhaps even "more correct" without coffee.

(But I never had any mental-health incidents, and I drink a lot of it, more than all people that I personally know.)

I look at the starts when choosing dependencies, it's a first filter for sure. Good reminder that everything gets gamed given the incentives.
